Bonanza Creek's (BCEI) Civitas to Obtain Colorado Oil & Gas Assets
Read MoreHide Full Article
Bonanza Creek Energy Inc., through its previously-announced all-stock deal of equals with Extraction Oil & Gas Inc. , is expected to form the largest pure-play oil and gas company — Civitas Resources Inc. — in the Denver-Julesburg (“DJ”) basin of Colorado.
Civitas, which will form one of the most durable and advanced producers in the DJ basin, significantly enhanced its consolidation strategy in the DJ basin by entering a definite agreement to obtain Crestone Peak Resources, a leading energy producer in the region.
Notably, the merged entity will acquire Crestone to form a Colorado-based oil and gas producer with an enterprise value of $4.5 billion. The acquisition of Crestone, which is also active in Colorado, is expected to improve the combined company’s footprint, in-basin diversification, balance sheet and liquidity position.
Per the terms of the transaction, Crestone shareholders will receive 22.5 million shares of Bonanza Creek common stock in exchange for 100% of their equity interests. Once the deal closes, Crestone shareholders will own about 26% of Civitas, while Bonanza Creek and Extraction shareholders will each own about 37% of the merged company.
Civitas will be well-positioned to increase efficiencies by combining operations across more than half a million net acres, with an estimated production of 160,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Importantly, the company aims to become the first carbon-neutral oil and gas producer of Colorado after the deal closes.
Notably, the transaction is expected to close immediately, following the completion of Bonanza Creek’s all-stock merger deal with Extraction by the third quarter of 2021. The deal has been approved by the boards of directors of Bonanza Creek, Extraction and Crestone. It has also been fully approved by Crestone shareholders.
